The Seafarer
Nautical Rhapsody
The maritime rhapsody The Seafarer (1940) is based on some well known Irish and Scottish traditional music. As a resident on the Isle of Man, where he moved at very young age, Haydn Wood has grown up with the sea and the sea shanties. The work has a traditional form, a true rhapsody and has been performed hundreds of times throughout Europe, similar as Wood’s work Manin Ween. The new full score and revised instrumentation of The Seafarer, have adapted the work to present day wind band settings.

The Seafarer Nautical Rhapsody - Haydn Wood

Rhapsody In Blue arr. Naohiro Iwai

The famous prelude to "Die Walküre" is the "Ride of the Valkyries". As an exceptional piece to unveil an opera about female Norse archetypes with powers to condemn the fate of war soldiers, "Ride of the Valkyries" is revered for its climatic and invigorating nature, deeming it popular and best suited among many films and TV productions.
